YEOVIL CP PRINCES STREET (east side) Nos 56-58 including former No 60, Mansion House with its entrance gate piers

(Formerly listed as Nos 56-60 (even) (Mansion House) with its entrance gate piers)

GV II Town house (No 56), late C18; No 58, late C19 with late C20 extensions to left-hand side (formerly No 60); now offices.

The main house of Ham stone dressings to cut and squared local stone, with Welsh slated roof behind parapet and between coped gables, with truncated and sealed stone stacks crowning each gable. Two-storey facade of three bays, the entrance being in the right-hand bay. The door surround has Roman Doric attached unfluted columns supporting a plain entablature, which flanks a keyed semi-circular arched doorway (the door and fanlight being modern). Plinth, in which the heads of two two-light basement windows appear; above at ground-floor level sash windows without glazing bars in architraves with keystones; at first-floor level three similar sash windows in shouldered architraves without keystones (the right-hand window architrave, over the door, being heeled also). Stone band course at first-floor level, and dentilled cornice; quoins unmarked. Nos 58 (and formerly No 60, to its left) represent a matching extension up to cornice level possibly with flat roof: the first floor window to the former No 60 is set lower, and the doorway thereto has a recent aluminium door and fanlight.

The rear elevation and interiors not inspected.

Also of interest the (truncated) panelled stone gate piers to the entrance to No 56.
